Saras is Productivity Champion 2017

Saras has won the Productivity Prize 2017, an award set up by the Ceccarelli firm,
which has reviewed the financial statements for the years 2013-15
of more than 5000 Italian undertakings
and has drawn up a ranking list using a synthetic indicator measuring
the capacity to optimise use of available resources to create value.

At the ceremony held in Milan on 27 September last, Vincenzo Greco,
the head of Industrial Operations at Saras,
highlighted a business model focused on flexibility (of plants, in the procurement of crude oils and in supply chain management)
and on the professionalism of its people, as key factors that enabled the Group to weather the long crisis
that hit the refining industry and to be well placed today
to take full advantage of the improving trend.

Turning to the future, the sustained drive towards efficiency,
coupled with the #digitalSaras programme, designed to apply to our company
the technological innovations offered by industry 4.0,
are considered essential elements to continue on a path of steady improvement
and to ensure Saras maintains leadership in the industry over the next decade too.
